Descriptions:
A quiet, tender short film about two women on a first date — navigating awkward silences, small courage, and the simple hope of being seen. At its heart, Pehli Date is about queerness without spectacle. Just two women, one afternoon, and the fragile excitement of a beginning.
If this film finds you when you need it, I’m glad it did.
